b. you are at least 18 years old.

How the contract is formed between you and us
After placing an order, you will receive an e-mail from us acknowledging that we have received your order. Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a Product. The contract between us (Contract) will only be formed when we or our partners despatch your product.
The Contract will relate only to those Products we despatch. We will not be obliged to supply any other Products which may have been part of your order until the despatch of such Products.

Consumer rights
If you are contracting as a consumer, you may cancel a Contract at any time within fourteen (14) working days, starting on the day after the contract is made. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our refunds policy (set out in clause 8). To cancel a Contract, you must inform us in writing. You must also return the Products to us immediately, in the same condition in which you received them, and at your own cost and risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation. We are unable to cancel a contract against a perishable or personalised Product unless they are faulty. This provision does not affect your other statutory rights as a consumer.

Availability and delivery
Your order will with reasonable endeavour be fulfilled by the delivery schedule set out in the Despatch Confirmation, if no delivery date is specified, then within a reasonable time, unless there are exceptional circumstances.

Risk and title
The Products will be at your risk from the time of delivery.
Ownership of the Products will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of the Products, including delivery charges.
Price and payment
The price of the Products and our delivery charges will be as quoted on our site from time to time, except in cases of obvious error.
Product prices include VAT.
Product prices and delivery charges are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect orders in respect of which we have already Despatched.
Our site contains a large number of Products and it is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Products listed on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally verify prices as part of our despatch procedures so that, where a Product's correct price is less than our stated price, we will charge the lower amount when despatching the Product to you. If a Product’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will normally, at our discretion, either contact you for instructions before despatching the Product, or reject your order and notify you of such rejection.
We are under no obligation to provide the Product to you at the incorrect (lower) price, even after we have sent you a Despatch Confirmation, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as an error.
Payment for all Products must be by credit or debit card. We accept payment with Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, Visa Electron, Diners Club, and Amex.

Waiver
If we fail, at any time during the term of a Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this will not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and will not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.

Severability
If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of a Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
